My opinion on the tests taken
According to the results I observed that the job that I want to follow is entirely up to their results, on the other hand not all the tests described me very well.
I agreed with two solutions of the first test, which was the fact that I'm innovative, because I love to explore everything in detail and create different ways to resolve issues and deliver results, and social, because I like to socialize and help other people. I didn't agree with the "methodical", because I don't care if I have a job where unforeseen events occur. Furthermore, I like adventures and working my way, with my own rules.
I found very enlightening the second test related to my skills, because I like to mix with other people, I know about myself, my strengths and weaknesses. I really like sports and they are very easy to me, as example, swimming (I practiced for three years), athletics, among others. So I agree that my scores on this test are interpersonal, intrapersonal and kinaesthetic.
I was very happy with the third test because of the five jobs I had, because they are related to what I want to follow. For a long time that I want to follow medicine, dermatology more properly. None of the first five jobs speaks exactly this specificity, but almost all are related to medicine. Surgeons have always been also something that captivated me, but the fact that they often have lives in their own hands scares me a bit. Pharmaceutical Sciences will be definitely my second choice, if I can't get into medical school. But certainly I've been working hard enough to follow medicine, because the fact that my mother has a skin disease without healing, gives me strength to overcome this barrier and enter to university. Moreover, this profession also provides considerable profit and I have intentions to have a calm and safe life without economic difficulties. The long years that I have to wait to graduate are superfluous, I'm willing to "fight" the years that are needed to make my dream come true.
Finally, I'm not surprised with the last test because it really shows that my interests are based in the field of health science, but on the other hand I was a little disappointed with the second score in which reigned agriculture, food and natural resources, which are the things that I don't like and have nothing to do with me.
Taking stock of all the positives and negatives aspects, I think this test could explain in their higher percentage my personality and what I would like to do in my future. It was useful as just one more confirmation that I was right.
Do you agree with Rita's vision of herself? Comment on. Do not forget to insert a horizontal rule and of course, tell us your name.
I agree with Rita saying she is not a "methodical person", because she doesn't like being restrict to rules, she likes to go with the flow. I'm not surprised with all the results being related to medicine; since I know her she always wanted to take medicine, and I honestly can't imagine her in other area, so I think that this test is another motivation for her persuading her dream. Rita Pereira I think that tests had adequate results for what she really wants and likes.She likes to be in contact with others and help them. Although she has much work to do, I hope she realize her dream. She deserves it Filipa Gamas
I think these tests were a confirmation of the area who thought they were related to your interests, because since the area until the professions, he turned everything around medicine.

Of course Rita Old-House, nothing describes you! Do you like helping other people? Oh my god, and why you don't help me? :(
Do you like adventures? Go to sahara!
